Week 2 Football Picks

Started off 1 and 0 and then had two straight losses for a record of 1 and 2 this year.

Buffalo getting 6 and a half from Miami. This game will come down to a field goal, but most likely Miami will win the game. Buffalo plays close games but usually come up short. Take the over (37) in the parlay.

Arizona getting 7 in Seattle. Arizona is gonna be tough this year. Seattle should bounce this year.

Jacksonville getting 2 and a half against Pittsburgh. I think Jacksonville will win by more than 7 here.

In the Woodbine Bell Mile, I like Sweet Returns.

Good luck.
